Windows 8.1 is dead 😭
Support for Windows 8.1 officially ended on January 10, 2023. This applies to all editions, including Windows 8.1 Home, Pro, and Enterprise.
While you can continue to use this version of the operating system, Microsoft will no longer provide support after the support date ends, meaning devices running Windows 8.1 are more exposed to security risks and compatibility issues.
When support for Windows 7 ended, Microsoft offered additional support to business customers only through the paid Extended Security Update (ESU) program. However, this no longer applies to Windows 8.1. After January 10, 2023, the operating system will no longer receive updates. (Sometimes the company offers a few additional updates during a grace period if a critical security vulnerability is found, but that's about it.)
